Teletherapy for 95030

I believe everyone deserves some time to sit down with a strong listener and/or problem solver about their life. The feedback that I receive is, that I empathize & mirror the key issues quickly and help you brainstorm. I then help you get at "reframing" the negative situations and help you motivate and prioritize what is needed to do to actually change. I can work well with all mood issues, chaos, panic, addictions affairs and all relationship issues. Every session you should walk away with substantial suggestions to help in different areas. I also work with work ADHD, parenting, and women with breast cancer.

The violation of trust in a relationship is one of the most devastating things you can experience. Infidelity leaves you feeling confused, alone, and hopeless. Affairs are often a symptom of other struggles in a relationship, where one or both partners feel a lack of being seen and a loss of connection. Believe it or not, this can be an opportunity to strengthen your relationship. Infidelity can be the worst or best thing that happened to you. The next steps are up to you. With determination, hard work, and the right support, you can use it to heal.

Challenging situations can be nudges for you to take time and look inside to recognize them as opportunities to heal, grow, and to make changes needed to break free from feeling stuck, lead a more satisfying life, heal relationships, and bring you back to feeling like yourself again. Whether you're having some 'difficult to feel' or painful emotions, childhood trauma, feeling stuck in a relationship, going through a life transition, or just the uncertainty and stress of the world, therapy can be a wonderful place to begin to take time for yourself.

As your therapist, my first offering would be creating a safe environment for you, whereby you know that you are being heard, respected, and validated. I respect and honor your wish to find someone to work with; a traveling companion for the road you are on.  I know this first step is a hard one.  I’ve been in your shoes too. Here is what I have learned: connection matters. Feelings matter. Knowing, that someone sees how hard it can be, matters. And yes, expertise matters. If you’ve gotten this far then you are likely wondering- could this person possibly be my/our therapist? Will she understand me/us? Will she care? Can she help?

My aim is to assist clients in being happier, healthier, and stronger as they encounter the hurdles that the different phases of life can bring. Whether those hurdles are internal, interpersonal or professional, most clients walk out of sessions feeling understood, really seen, smarter about themselves and their situation, and with real tools to positively affect their lives. Often interpersonal relationships prove the most challenging over time, triggering defensive/protective reactions that usually make things worse. Working in these arenas can bring valuable awareness, and offer pathways to challenge and change perspectives.

Silicon Valley can be a stressful place to live. Sometimes, the demands of living and working in this area rob us of the passion we once had. If you are feeling pulled in too many directions...if you are feeling like your needs take a backseat to everything else in your life: kids, work, older parents, spouse, then I would like to help. You can feel like you once did, full of LIFE and PASSION. Running on empty can lead to depression, anxiety, relationship drama, and health problems. You can feel better, even THRIVE, while meeting life's challenges with ease.

Are you having the same painful arguments, again and again? Does it feel like nothing will ever change? I specialize in couples counseling, and in working with trauma. If things have gotten hard I can help. Let's talk.

If you struggle with low self worth, setting boundaries, losing yourself in your relationships, feeling over stimulated and overwhelmed by life, lack of self and intuitive and body connection, we might be a particularly aligned fit to work together. If you are struggling in your relationship with food and/or body image I can offer you support and hope for healing. I am an attachment-oriented therapist when it comes to supporting the parent/child relationship. I believe that when working with children and youth it is vitally important to work congruently with parents and caregivers as well.

I work best with high functioning individuals in executive roles and couples struggling with relationship issues, life events , depression and anxiety. When you are heard, seen, and encouraged, helped to explore and re-discover what you feel passionate and enlivened about, there is a good chance you will grow. You're probably here because perhaps you feel stuck, frustrated and discouraged - in your relationships, your job or with life in general and you want to make some fundamental changes and need some guidance and support. I can help you with this.

You are frustrated with people in your life. You have resentment toward those you are meant to love; you feel misunderstood and judged; you worry others view you badly; you feel disconnected and excluded. Relationship feels confusing and frustrating. It feels like nothing you try works, you feel like it's your fault, and you feel empty inside. Your anxiety and loneliness won't go away on its own. Let me help you understand why you feel the way you do, help you gain abilities to truly connected with yourself and others, and mental clarity to handle interpersonal exchanges in ways that feels confident, caring, and thoughtful.

Are you sad, anxious, lonely, frustrated, scared, angry, ...? Do you feel your pain is lasting longer than you wanted it? Have you been considering to seek help but you are scared and not sure what to expect from therapy? Are you uncertain how therapy would help you? Are you wondering if you could be in control of what and which direction would be the goal of your appointments? Are you afraid of being aware? These are just examples of how people feel when initially consider therapy.

Let's work together to solve the problems impacting your life and create a more balanced lifestyle that will open new opportunities for you to thrive. I am confident that we will make a strong connection and forge a therapeutic relationship that can change your life. Through a collaborative process, we can work the problem together and seek new horizons. Take the next step to make change become a reality by calling me for a free phone consultation. There is nothing standing in your way.

Frustrated by your relationships or feeling like you live life on everyone else's terms but your own? I am a warm, interactive partner in solution-focused conversation cradled with a sense of deep optimism which comes from both my professional training and from being a fellow traveler in negotiating life's challenges. I quickly assess what my clients needs are and provide concrete understanding, tools, skills, and solutions for their circumstances. I help you build inner resilience and self-esteem in the same way you boost your immune system when you feel worn down.

Would you like to improve your relationship by strengthening communication, dealing with conflict effectively, reviving intimacy, or balancing family/work demands? Do you want to get beyond feeling stuck in self-sabotaging and self-destructive habits? Are you tired of dealing with the emotional and physical effects of anxiety? As a specialist in couples therapy and anxiety treatment for adults, I work with people to explore unproductive patterns and develop more useful alternatives for healthier relationships and satisfying lives.

My aim is to create a welcoming, non-judgmental space while offering evidence-based, short-term therapy for couples and individuals. This method explores root causes and empowers individuals with tangible tools to reach their goals. My approach is client centered, solution focused, and provides a direct, flexible, and practical path to change. I value your individual experience and regard it as a rich source of wisdom and insight, guiding services.

During this time of corona virus and shelter-in-place, it is common for people to struggle emotionally. Many of us feel distress with what is unknown; we are used to staying busy to avoid difficult feelings. Anxiety, depression, isolation, loneliness, relationship challenges, worries, fears, the inner critic, childhood memories, past failures, feeling helpless, among others, can all feel overwhelming. During this time our most vulnerable selves are exposed. What we often miss with a crisis, is the opportunity for growth that is possible. I am here to help you not only survive, but thrive.

Life is complex at all ages, but we know that...right? Yet knowing this does not necessarily help or give us direction. In my work, I try to help guide people through this murky life, examine choices and explore options, personal history, and experience. I have a deep respect for my clients, for their wisdom and their struggles. I provide an encouraging and non-judgmental space to look at each unique concern and situation. I often explore the role of meaning and choice in our lives, and how both powerfully (but often invisibly) affect how we live our days.

Our experiences form an unconscious ‘blueprint’, which shapes our beliefs and aspirations, but also the fears and challenges we face. Gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and the patterns that run your life allows you the freedom to make new choices and respond differently, transforming your relationships with yourself and others. In our work together, I will support you on your journey towards self-awareness that can lead to a profound change. My therapeutic approach is warm, direct and authentic. I believe feeling safe, accepted and heard are all critical elements for therapy to succeed.

If you’re navigating the challenges of anxiety, OCD, or relationship difficulties, I’m here to offer a path forward. My approach is about taking immediate action to alleviate the stress these conditions impose on your life and relationships. Whether you're dealing with intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or navigating the complexities of a partnership, a fulfilling life is within reach.
